Rajnikanth Æ A. Gnanamani Published online: 26 August 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009 Abstract The present study describes the preparation and Introduction characterization of leather particulate-polymer composites (LPPCs) from solid wastes (chrome shavings/buffing dusts) Generation of solid and liquid wastes during manufacturing generated during leather manufacturing processes. Nitrile processes is unavoidable in major industries. India alone butadiene rubber (NBR), Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) produces, more than 960 MT of solid wastes from various and neoprene rubber were the polymers used at different industrial and domestic operations and dumping of these concentrations. Pretreatment of leather wastes with suitable wastes in wastelands pose severe environmental threat [ 1]. alkaline reagents enhances the binding efficiency with Proper recycling of these wastes would certainly save the polymers chosen and the high interfacial bonding prevailing energy and conserve the resources. However, till this date, reduces the chromium leaching. Mechanical properties of because of the presence of hazardous chemicals or ingre- the resultant polymer composites showed good machinable dients [2, 3], only limited number of ecological and envi- and nailing properties. Addition of poly vinyl chloride ronmental friendly, energy efficient and cost effective (PVC) further enhances the above said properties. Scanning processes of recycling are available. With regard to leather electron micrograph analyses implies complete blending manufa
